Talent Opens Doors. Habits Keep Them Open.

Professional baseball players rarely advance on talent alone. Talent might get a player noticed, but it does not sustain a career. The athletes who reach higher levels and stay there understand something early. Growth never stops at any level of the game.

These players are highly coachable. They seek feedback rather than waiting for it. Instruction is not viewed as criticism, but as information. Every rep has intention. Every swing, throw, sprint, and lift is treated as an opportunity to sharpen a tool that can always be refined.

My love for baseball started when I was growing up in Annapolis, Maryland. Like a lot of kids, I played multiple sports and loved football and basketball, but by the time I reached high school, baseball had clearly become my calling.

In 1988, I was fortunate to be part of a state championship team in Anne Arundel County. It was an incredible run. On paper, we were probably the fourth-best team in the county, and the competition was fierce, but we came together at the right time and found a way to win it all. That experience shaped how I’ve viewed the game ever since. Talent matters, but belief and teamwork can carry you further than anyone expects.
